WHAT'S HAPPENING IN NOVEMBER?

With the end of October Group 2 is two weeks from saying good by to yet another module. 'THE KINGDOM OF GOD' was a reminder that His Kingdom Is Here but still Yet To Come. 


How we enjoyed our discussion together. We know the students were impacted by the concepts of of this module and that they have been changed, renewed and restored by the refreshing of the Word in their lives. 


As always we thank God for the opportunity to impact His people with the renewing of His Word in the lives of the students at CELCU.


In two weeks Group 2 will start Module 12 'FOCUS ON REPRODUCTION'.

Group 1 is on their seventh module 'THEOLOGY OF THE CHURCH' module 3. We are excited at where the Spirit of the Lord will lead us during this module. 

Saturday November 5Th at 3 PM, we will have an orientation section for those that want to be in Group 3. 

Pray with us that we have a good turnout and that the 15 chosen be those hand picked by God to lead as pastors and leaders in the church this and the next generations to come. 

"PRAYING FOR NEW STUDENTS"

We are excited to announce that we've started the recruitment process for our third group of 15. Classes to start February 1, 2012. 
Orientation will be the fifth of November, then starts the process of prayer for the selection of the group.


With Gods help we will continue to train church leadership and pastors for the work of the Gospel of Jesus Christ until He comes.


Pray with us that the Lord will bring about His revival in the renewing of our minds as in Romans 12.2.    

'FULL SPEED AHEAD'

Hola amigos, we started the new school year 'Full Speed Ahead'.

The students are motivated, the lessons are intense and the discussions are very lively. 

We've felt the Spirit of God guiding every discussion. We have all been challenged and recognize that in order to help God's people we must first allow the Spirit of God to speak directly to us and work in our lives as leaders. 

As Leaders, we can no longer allow the 'Dominant Culture' dictate what the church of Jesus Christ needs to be and can or can not do. 

We as leaders, must fight for those lives that have been entrusted to us, through prayer, counsel and deliberately caring for each and every individual. 

In this way 'We the Church', will be strong and a force to be reckoned with.     

'It's our 1st Anniversary'

As a reminder of God's faithfulness we will be celebrating our 1st year anniversary with group I & II, together for the first time. 

We are also inviting alumni families and friends to join us for this celebration on Sunday the 4th of September 2011. We wish you all could join us. 

"SOME PEOPLE DREAM OF SUCCESS WHILE OTHERS WAKE UP AND WORK HARD AT IT"

Last year on the 30th of August we launched CELCU. 

After various levels of anxiety, apprehension and developing an attitude of hard work, last night, in just one year, Group 1 successfully completed five modules. By the end of 2011 they will have taken seven modules. 

We praise God and rejoiced in what He has done in just on year. 

Looking back, they have learned Bible Interpretation, Biblical leadership Principles, Practicing Biblical Leadership Principles, Focus in the Kingdom of God and Focus on Reproduction. These have strengthen their ministries; producing in some cases: numerical growth, launching of new ministries, a new church and systematic discipleship training to recount some of the successes of studying at CELCU.

We are excited and look forward to what God will do.

'VACATION' ALL RIGHT!

After several months of hard work Tito and his classmates were ready for a much needed vacation. 

CELCU shut down all operations from the 13th of July to resume classes on the 15th of August.

Upon the return to class Group 1 will be reciting 2 Timothy 2.1-2, and have an exam on Lesson 3, Module 12 'Focus on Reproduction'. Group 2 will resume segment 2 of Module 11 'Practicing Christian Leadership'.   

'OIKOS'

Three weeks ago group one started the module 'Focus on Reproduction'.  Last Monday we studied the significance of 'OIKOS'.  OIKOS; the basic unit of society in most Greek city-states.

The Lord calls us to penetrate our 'OIKOS' (household networks) in urban, cross-cultural evangelism.  Through testifying the Gospel in our webs of common kinship relationships, friendships, and associations we can spread and win others in our urban cities. 

The students were marveled to learn how many 'OIKOS' they are a part of; at work, school, circle of friends, relatives, relatives friends, church, clubs, etc.
